Besan Mirch is a Rajasthani speciality made by sautéing green chilies in a spiced besan (Gram Flour) mixture. When cooked in this way, the green chilies loose some of their bite and get imbibed with other tangy and spicy flavors.Besan Ki Mirchi is mouthwateringly appetizing and greatly enhances the flavor of food. It is really easy to make and it does not take more than 15 minutes to prepare. Besan Mirch stores well in the refrigerator, so you can make it once and enjoy it for 5-6 days.Besan Ki Mirchi can be used as an accompaniment or as a pickle with any main dish combination like roti-sabzi or dal-chawal.
